| 🎙️Episode 11: Travel Advisor Confessions — Things I Wish Travelers Knew Before They Book | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:27:17 | |
Travel advisors have seen some things, y’all. 😂 In this episode of Traveling With Style and Grace, I’m taking you behind the scenes and sharing the top 10 things every traveler should know before booking that next vacation. We’re talking about cheap vs. value, why a quote is NOT a reservation, what happens when you change “just one little thing,” and why your vacation dreams and your vacation budget need to be properly introduced. And then...we’re talking GROUP TRAVEL. 👀 From disappearing travelers when the deposit becomes due to roommate changes, missed payment deadlines, group leaders trying to manage grown people, and the infamous “Nobody told me!”—we're getting into it. And for my travelers with caviar and champagne dreams on a potted meat and beer budget...come on in. There's a word for you too. 😂 This episode is funny, a little sassy, and full of practical advice to help you become a better traveler—and a MUCH better group traveler. 🎧 Listen, follow the podcast, and share this episode with the person who is always organizing the group trip.

| 🎙️Episode 10: Travel Insurance: The Most Boring Thing You’ll Be Glad You Bought | 14 Aug 2026 | 00:29:22 | |
Nobody books a vacation expecting to cancel it. Nobody plans to get sick overseas, miss a connection, lose their luggage, or need emergency medical care. But as I like to say: you may have an itinerary, but Murphy’s Law didn’t ask to see it. 😂 In this episode of Traveling With Style and Grace, we’re making travel insurance make sense—without turning this into an insurance seminar. We’re talking about: ✈️ Trip cancellation vs. trip interruption Plus, I’ll explain why the cheapest policy isn’t automatically the best deal—and neither is the most expensive one. If you travel several times a year, I’ll also break down annual plans and what you should compare before deciding if one is right for you. 🔗 Compare travel insurance options: Disclosure: I may receive compensation when you purchase through my affiliate link.
